RedLine Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 In case you haven't seen this yet. Some new info on the game and the Hitter's Eye Feature. http://www.gamepro.com/nintendo/gamecube/g...ews/40937.shtml There are also some pics and one that shows what appears to be the ne precision pitching meter as there's a small green spot within a larger green zone. Also, the strike zone appears lower and smaller than last year. Hitter's Eye sounds more like a replay feature than something you use while batting in real-time. Hmm.

NYYKing Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Also, the strike zone appears lower and smaller than last year. didn't EA say something about different umpires have different strike-zones and such? don't exactly remember, but that might have something to do with it.

basballfanatik9 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Hey it looks like they added some real ads to stadiums (Majestic, Donruss on Yankee Stadium). By the way is that Kevin Millar in one of the screen shots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoserthehorrible Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 It looks like the pitching meter now has different accuracy zones in it.... blue, yellow, light green, dark green. It looks like letting go of the button in the blue will result in a wild pitch, yellow in a mistake pitch, light green will be close to the aimed spot but maybe not perfect, and there's a small sliver of dark green that looks to be for pitches that hit the intended target precisely. If the dark green sliver is hard to hit then this could be a very nice improvement to the pitching interface. Potentially, it could lead to more mistake pitches that are over the plate and more mistake pitches that are off the plate for balls. It could also lead to less pinpoint pitches which could mean more balls and more walks. The crowd in the screen shots also looks to be improved over last year. A bit more detail than last year. Everything else looks to be the same as last year from a visual perspective (except perhaps different ads). Still got the hot/cold batting zones, the round cursor where the ball crossed the plate, the fielder throwing meter, similar uniforms, bats, gloves, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkB Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 The actual screenshots will be accurate, but the graphics won't be. Take a look at the address of the article and you'll find that the screens come from the Nintendo Gamecube. Is it just me, or does this hitter's eye thing sound like you can change the camera to represent what the hitter actually sees in real time?
